FAQs

What if I experience a problem during the placement?

If you experience a problem, please contact us so that we can collaboratively develop a solution. A Work Experience Placement Agreement, developed prior to the placement, should help minimize issues by setting out expectations and responsibilities of each party over the period of the placement.

What does it cost to participate?

Nothing! Lifemark will train, screen and match participants to your needs at no cost to you.

Am I required to hire the participants after the placement?

No, while we hope you are matched with a participant that suits your business needs and is a good fit for your organization, we recognize that this may not always be the case. You are not required to offer permanent employment after the duration of the work experience placement has expired.

Can I take multiple placements?

Yes, you are allowed to participate in multiple work experience placement for one or more positions.

What about coverage?

While attending the program, all participants are deemed to be workers of the Government of Alberta (GOA) for the sole purpose of receiving workers’ compensation benefits under the Workers’ Compensation Act. If injured in an accident, participants are entitled to claim workers’ compensation benefits and have resigned their rights to take legal action against the GOA, any other employer of worker covered by the Workers’ Compensation Act.
